Northport · Tapit can get you a g1 winner, and he can get you a g1 winner quickly. There are not many classic distance sires left, and people don't have the patience to wait for their horses to mature into a nice distance runner - it's all derby, all the time, and if you have a precoious young runner, you are going to get more hype than a slow maturing Awesome Again. I honestly rather people breed to Tapit (who at least is a proven nice stallion) than continue this ridiculous Bernardini craze. With the mares Bernardini has gotten since his freshman year, he has been an underwhelming sire. · 1366 days ago

Mr. Thirsty · I'd agree if she would step up in class and face tougher horse. If she would still walk away with the race then you could say that she is "one of the best sprinters to come around in a long time". · 1631 days ago

Undefeated Agave Kiss, winner of the Grade 3 Cicada in her last trip to post, was listed as possible for the Comely on 4-7. “I’m going to check the horses who are going to enter the race,” said Rudy Rodriguez, who trains Agave Kiss for Flying Zee Racing Stables. “We really don’t know what we’re going to do yet. I’ll talk to the owners tomorrow and try to figure out a plan. This is a longer race, and it looks like she got a little tired last time.” Agave Kiss breezed five furlongs in 1:01.11 on Friday at Aqueduct in what was her first workout since her victory in the Cicada on March 10. “She breezed very, very nice,” said Rodriguez. “I was very, very pleased with how she did it. She did everything we asked.”
